Making the paper: Oliver Höner & Bettina Wachter.

The article presents a study by Oliver Höner and Bettina Wachter, who worked in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater, which found that female choices drive the dispersal of male spotted hyaenas. The study also revealed that dispersal of males is common in social and group-living mammals. According to the researchers, it is difficult to monitor the fate of dispersing individuals. The researchers investigated the factors that influence a young male's decision on where to start his reproductive career. Furthermore, they also found that male clan selection is influenced by the number of young females and not the number of unrelated adult females.
